LEAP YEAR PROBLEM

We have run into either a bug or some bad programming. A program we've used for some time suddenly started giving datetime conversion errors (1267) today, February 29. Here is the offending code segment: function date_test() define one_year date, three_year date, five_year date let one_year = current - 1 units year let three_year = current - 3 units year let five_year = current - 5 units year ( rest of function ) Each of the let statements generated the -1267 error. I'm guessing it is because there is no February 29th in any of the earlier years. Fixing the problem was pretty easy. I did the following: let one_year = today - 365 let three_year = today - (365 * 3) let five_year = today - (365 * 5) Has anyone else hit this today? Is it a bug, or just bad programming? I didn't write it, BTW, so criticism won't bother me. Thanks, Tom Allred tom@systems.rwbost.com
